Richard Dorson (interview)
No full textThis interview is included in the American Folklore Society Oral History Project held at the Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. In this item, Richard M. Dorson is interviewed by Richard Reuss at the American Folklore Society annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee for the American Folklore Society Oral History Project. Biography/History note: Richard M. Dorson, folklorist, author, and educator, was born in New York City in 1916 and died in 1981. He earned his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard University and taught at Harvard and Michigan State University before becoming professor of history and folklore at Indiana University where he founded its Folklore Institute in 1963 and became the first director and first chair of the Folklore Department at Indiana University in 1978. This collection consists of 1 sound tape reel (40 min.) : analog, 7 1/2 ips, 2 track, mono. ; 7 in. It was originally recorded on November 2, 1973 at the American Folklore Society annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee by Richard Reuss on a Sony audiocassette. This is a first-generation copy

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Bone mineral density and vertebral fractures in teenage and young adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma. A report from the British OsteoNecrosis Study (BONES)
No full textThe British Osteonecrosis Study (BONES) is the first multicentre prospective study assessing bone health and vertebral fractures in patients aged 10–24 in the United Kingdom undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). Sixty-one patients were recruited from three tertiary centres in the United Kingdom. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans with vertebral fracture analysis were performed within 4 weeks of diagnosis and annually for 3 years. Subjective pain assessments were performed at the same time points. Bone mineral density (assessing total body less head (TBLH)) significantly reduced after 2 years, compared to baseline (estimate = −0.964, 95% CI [−1.357, −0.572]), with the greatest decrease occurring within the first year. Vertebral fracture prevalence was 4.9%, with two further patients experiencing incident vertebral fractures. All vertebral fractures occurred in male patients, 75% of whom were British Asian. Back pain was not a predictor of low bone mineral density (BMD) or vertebral fractures. We report a lower vertebral fracture prevalence in patients aged 10–24 with ALL than has been previously reported in a cohort of younger patients. Male British Asian patients appeared to be at higher risk of vertebral fractures in our study. BMD and pain were not predictors of vertebral fractures
Incidence of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in Yorkshire, UK
No full textBetween 1980 and 1998, in the north-west of England, a significant rise in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia was caused by an increase in the precursor B-cell form of this disease. We analysed data on children who were diagnosed with leukaemia in Yorkshire, UK, between 1974 and 1997. The incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia remained stable, although a non-significant yearly increase of 2·4% was noted for the precursor B-cell form of this disease from 1980 onwards. The precursor B-cell form accounted for 80% of all acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Our data are not consistent with increasing incidence for precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, although numbers of children with acute myeloid leukaemia are rising
